Default A Few Classic Big Bores

As I get older, I've tried to narrow my collection down to a few keepers. And most of my keepers these days have a caliber that starts with a .4. Not always being able to get my hands on an original, some of the newer production guns work fine for me. Locks have been replaced with the plug.

22-4 .45 acp With old black disc Target Stocks



21-4 .44 spl. with Eagle round to sq. conversion grips.


29-3 with Eagle no medallion grips.


58-1 with Target Stocks


Colt 3rd Gen SAA


1980 Colt Series 70 with real Ivories

Love the Colt Mark IV. How long have you had that one? Just curious. You shoot it?

I picked it up about 4 years ago. Carry and shoot it a few times a year. It's ran 100% with ball and 230 HP's. Added the ambi (lefty) and shorter hammer to reduce hammer bite. Also added a new barrel bushing and retired the collet style it came with. I didn't want to ruin it too much from it's classic style.
